WIP, only 2 weeks left to complete it!


The pieces are all sewed together, and as I thought it looked a bit top heavy. So I decided to embroider one of the trees on to the section.

I think this is actually the first time I've used embroidery floss to actually embroider!

The tree is coming together, but now I'm not sure how I'm actually going to get it on the quilt. I think I'm going to have to learn how to do applique now! Or I'll just restart it directly on the quilt.

I made magnets!





As my contribution to my friend's wedding, I offered to make her wedding favours. I think I made close to 300 magnets over the weekend. They're each about the size of a nickel.

Baby Boy Quilt 1


Deciding on which fabric to use for the quilt. My plan was to sort out all the quilts to be made, but I focused on just one, which I regret now because I don't have the luxury of space at my own place.

The colour combo has been chosen, it wasn't difficult because most of it was from a set.

I've decided to go modern with this one, because it required less cutting and will give me time to work on the other quilts this summer/fall.
